> 3 dayThese grips are fantastic, and i’m very pleased with this product. Here’s some more detail about them if you’re on the fence about getting them: First off, the battery door idea? Absolutely game-changing. They fit snugly in their slot so you dont get any unnecessary movement or disturbance while playing, frankly I forget theyre even there until I have to change my batteries, which is made a breeze thanks to these. When I owned the Quest 1, I ran into this issue a lot with the third party straps I bought similar to these (because Meta still gives us these terrible Wii-mote looking straps as default) where I struggled to change the battery. These dont have that issue at all. The grips themselves are made of a very good material that doesn’t retain sweat and remains ergonomic and grippable even during high-intensity VR games. They adjust great, and while my hands are in the medium area, they handle my younger sister’s dainty hands and the massive paws of my 6’2 roommate just as well. The added bonus of threading the existing wii-mote type strap through is nice and can help you to not launch your Quest 2 controller at mach 12 into the nearest precious decoration in your home. Overall fantastic design I noticed that many of the reviews highlighted that the system with which these attach to the controllers has one important design flaw: they cover 2 of the tracking infrared LEDs on the halo rings on the Quest 2 controllers. This is true, and knowing this I took the chance of buying them regardless. I can confidently say I haven’t seen the slightest effect on my tracking as consequence of these LEDs being covered. My assumption is that they’re there as redundancies (as it looks like the tracking rings are pretty coated in those LEDs) and that they don’t contribute any majorly essential function to the device. This does mean, however, that you have 2 (potentially) redundant LEDs covered on each controller, and MAY become an issue if other LEDs were to fail. This however is an issue I haven’t experienced nor can I speak on it. It seems like covering them has no discernible effect on tracking. If you’re on the fence I’d definitely recommend getting them, as they work great and the one fear I had (loss of tracking from covering the LEDs) turned out to not happen at all, at least in my case (my headset is still relatively new). Overall great product!

> 3 dayThe grip is made out of a soft rubber which likes to stretch when waving my arms around in games like beatsaber. The straps are good quality but are uncomfortable to wear as they are to tight at the normal adjustment, and to loose when any looser. I suggest making the grip out of a hard rubber and having the battery cover be a removable clip like on tv remotes.

> 3 dayI took the oculus controller saftey cords off, because these are all I need now! The straps that go around your hands work great and I feel like I can hold my controllers better during games.

> 3 dayWe bought 3 and one of them the strap broke and they replaced it, we haven’t had any other issues and it’s nice to be able to replace the batteries without taking the whole thing apart like some others we’ve had.

> 3 dayThese were so easy to install!! They are sooo comfortable and yet they sit firmly in my hands, Im more than satisfied with this product. Whenever Id play Gorilla Tag, with my previous off-brand grips, they would start slipping all over the place and press down on my index trigger which made climbing a hassle. I havent played Gtag with my new grips yet, but I have a feeling they wont budge. Ill be trying em out asap! KIWI, youre the best.

> 3 dayThese are great. They are alot easier to take on and off because I don’t have to tighten them every time. They are very easy to install and makes battery replacement easier. They are very comfortable. They do pinch your hand alittle until you get them to the perfect size. Once you have them in the right spot, you don’t need to change them. Would recommend!

> 3 dayOriginally I had given these 5 stars because of how innovative of a product it is. However, I have decided to downgrade the stars because of my experience using them for a few months. There are a few cons to this product, it does add considerable weight to the controllers and the metal buckles will initially bruise your hands if you have sensitive skin (Though this went away after a while). In the next interaction, they could try and make the material just a little lighter. After using them for almost three months I went with another brand unfortunately. Also, the color in the photos here on Amazon is miss represented. The white color version ones are not truly white as they appear in the pictures, but more of a very light grayish color, almost white. (Except one of the pictures, where it does appear light gray) I dont know if it might because of the color calibration of my monitor, but I expected them to be truly white telling by the photos here. On the plus side, it makes it replacing the batteries on the controllers extremely easy, quick and trouble free.
